Ski resorts of Altai on the map. Ski tourism in Altai. Reviews of tourists about the rest in the resort of Manzherok

To date, Altai has at least 11 official ski resorts. different levels. Let's put them together and try to understand how they differ from each other. We will look, first of all, at the created infrastructure, the convenience of skiing, the price level and the surroundings.

I would like to point out two things at once:

  1. Altai in this article is Altai region+ Republic of Altai
  2. I don't ride and don't intend to start. Therefore, we will mainly talk about infrastructure.

Belokurikha

The largest and popular resort Altai. Actively funded and promoted by the state. Apart from ski slopes Belokurikha is famous for its wellness area, event tourism, excursions, farm products and much more. Belokurikha became so popular that it arose.


In addition to "Grace" there is complex "Danilovka" with its own slope and lift, great for beginners. Those who ride more than the first season will definitely be bored.

In general, Belokurikha is beautiful, expensive and rich. Places in normal boarding houses have been occupied since the summer and cost like renting a villa on the beach indian ocean. Local population rents apartments, the quality and price of which are at different poles of understanding. This can also be understood - the season feeds the year.

Not the worst option if you come by car to drive for the weekend is to stay in Biysk. Yes, it is 65 km to Belokurikha. But you can without overpayment, early bookings and inconvenience to accommodate with color.

For example, we stayed at Eco-Hotel "Altai". In the 2015-2016 season, it cost 1900 rubles for an excellent room with amenities in a log house. The price includes tickets for breakfast, which can be cashed in at the cafe across the street. Breakfast, I dare to report to you, leaves much to be desired. But it will completely allow you to get to Belokurikha and not die of hunger.

Nutrition. And this is a damn important point, considering how hungry a person feels when he descends from the slope. There are no budget establishments in the resort part of Belokurikha. Prices are quite Moscow. That is, a full meal for two will cost 1000-1200 rubles. And if you want to warm up with liqueurs of local masters, then the average bill rises to 2500. However, there is a life hack here too - you can always buy the most interesting foods and drinks at the local market.

And finally, the atmosphere. There is no unity and a common wave here, on which skiers and snowboarders who have skated the day usually find themselves. Belokurikha is family resort. Here it is customary to make friends with families.

Mishina Gora in Belokurikha-2

A fresh track, the opening of which took place in January 2019.

It is convenient in that you can drive up to the track from the very top and from the bottom of the descent. To travel, use, at the very beginning of the serpentine you can see the mascot of the route - the figure of a bear made of Pashtulim marble.

Well, the atmosphere. Quiet, calm, like a family. Sometimes there are places even in season. By the way, keep in mind that if there are places, then there may be problems with snow. Year is not the same. It can fill up to the neck, or it can only sprinkle greenery on the mountains.

Pass Seminsky

It is about 130 km from Gorno-Altaisk. Well, this is a pass, you know. The navel at an altitude of 1900m above sea level. The wind is constantly blowing here, the blizzard is sweeping. Even in summer it can easily snow here. On the pass itself, at its highest point, there is only one base "Dynamo" .

Having plunged into the traditions of Soviet hospitality, you can experience your vacation inexpensively and in a Spartan way. But there are pluses - they are well fed on the all-inclusive system. The base is located a few hundred meters from the track, you can even see it. Here is the beginning of the ski slope. And this is the rare case when you do not need to go up to go down. Here, on the contrary - first the descent, then the ascent.

And although I promised not to discuss the consumer properties of snow, skiers and snowboarders especially praise the local snow. This is a solid puff that lies until mid-May. And this is the main plus of skiing on Seminsky. But if you think that starting the descent from 1900m you can slide down to the foot of the pass - it's not. The elevation difference is only 200m, and the length of the slope is only 1200m.

Well, the cons, you know - bad weather and poor infrastructure. You are effectively limited to one hostel and one tiny hotel. With food, too, a choice without a choice. Settlements with cafes and lodges within reach is not provided.

All this is the highest league of ski resorts in Altai. Now let's move on to places with a lower rank.

GCR "Blagodat" is formed by a network of interconnected trails with five drag lifts and a chairlift. To each mountain slope, which is part of the complex, has been given a unique name.

Slope "Church"

Traditionally, the ski resorts of Altai are equipped with restaurants and cafes at the foot of the slopes. Slope "Church" with a length of 2600 meters was an exception to this rule. A cozy cafe is attached to the top of the mountain. From his windows and chair lift the picturesque landscapes of the local environs, shining with a snow-white cover, open up.

The track here has an incredible height difference - 550 meters. Such a significant difference made it possible to rank it in the category of red (difficult) routes, designed for professionals.

Slope "Grace"

The most popular track with a height difference of 330 meters cut the slope "Blagodat", which captured the bottom of Mount Tserkovka and stretched into the distance for 1350 meters. This track is considered red. However, she submits to many beginner skiers. The track is adjacent to two parking lots, the Blagodat hotel, the restaurant of the same name and the Chadyr cafe-bar.

Slope "Katun"

One of the slopes of Belokurikha is called "Katun". Here, the natural relief was leveled, the width of the slope was increased to 35 meters, a paired drag lift was installed and trial artificial snowmaking was carried out. After a successful experiment, the ski complex, more precisely, its slopes are regularly covered with snow. The height difference on the 850-meter blue track is only 185 meters. It is suitable for skiing those who want to avoid excessive steepness of slopes.

Slope "Altai-West"

The length of the route on the rather gentle slope of the "Altai-West" has reached 830 meters. Here is the smallest height difference - only 146 meters. The trail is easy and well-lit. She is classified as a child. Near the slope there is a sanatorium of the same name.

Slope "Northern"

The northern side of the Church is equipped with illuminated 900-meter trails for skiing. They lie next to the boarding houses "Solnechnaya Gorka" and " Northern lights". Ride here on standard tracks and powder. The height difference in this place is 175 meters. At the foot of the slope there is a cafe.
